Talk:Loch Etchachan

What is this supposed to imply "It is the highest waterbody of its size in the UK" ? Presumably some combination of size and height makes it special, yet its size is not specified. Maybe it is the highest loch of a "significant" size. However if you define "significant" as 1 hectare, for example, then Loch Coire an Lochan, six km to the west, becomes more significant as it is 70m higher. In the context of a sporting achievement maybe efforts should be directed to the latter loch? In fact this is the loch used by people taking the "Three Lakes Challenge". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.57.42 (talk) 22:51, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Trivia - First wind surf on Loch Etchachan
Members of Dundee Mountain Club were not the first to windsurf on the loch. Two British men in their mid twenties had windsurfed on the loch much earlier during the summer of 1994 or 1995. My wife and I were on a hill walk and we both saw the two men windsurf on Loch Etchachan. I continued to bag Ben Macdui whilst my wife waited at the wee lochan just east of Loch Etchachan. Regrettably, I cannot provide the actual date for the windsurf event we witnessed since my Munro bagging records started a few year later on 23 June 1996. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaaldolsen (talk • contribs) 14:52, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
